Prabhas has officially teamed up with renowned director Hanu Raghavapudi for an exciting new period action drama, tentatively titled Fauji. The much-anticipated project was launched today, August 17, with a grand puja ceremony in Hyderabad, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Prabhas's illustrious career. The star's fans are buzzing with excitement as the film gears up for production.
The shooting of the film is set to begin on August 24 in Hyderabad, with anticipation running high. While the official announcement for the female lead is expected soon, industry whispers suggest that Mrunal Thakur could be taking on the role opposite Prabhas. The film is reported to be set in the pre-independence era, a period rarely explored in recent cinema, adding a historical intrigue to the action-packed drama.
Photos from the puja ceremony have already surfaced online, with Prabhas stealing the spotlight. One particular image, showing him with director Prashanth Neel, garnered significant attention. Fans quickly poured in their love for the actor on social media, with comments like "Smiles everywhere" and "Loved from Tamil Nadu" celebrating his ever-growing popularity.
Prabhas also posted an Instgram story on his handle sharing that the shooting will begin soon for the new film.
As for the film's storyline, Fauji is rumored to feature Prabhas portraying a soldier in the British Army, a role that promises both emotional depth and high-octane action. Produced on a record-breaking budget by Mythri Movie Makers, the movie is slated for a late 2025 release, setting high expectations for a cinematic experience. The music for the film is composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar, who has reportedly completed three songs, adding to the film’s growing anticipation.
In the meantime, Prabhas is keeping busy with other projects. He is expected to soon resume shooting for Raja Saab, a horror-comedy directed by Maruthi and scheduled for a summer 2025 release. This film, produced by People Media Factory, promises to be a thrilling mix of scares and laughs, with music by Thaman. Additionally, Prabhas will join the sets of Spirit, a highly awaited film directed by Sandeep Vanga, early next year.
